Look inside
In this quick liveProject, you’ll develop a simple task scheduler app. Your challenges will include coding functionality that will arrange a day’s tasks to either minimize time left over during a day, or to provide the greatest variety of tasks during a day.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

project author
Ana Bell
Dr. Ana Bell is a lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department. She has co-lectured two introductory computer science courses in Python for the past five years. She was first introduced to Python in graduate school at Princeton University, where she started using it to parse and reformat large files in her research and found it to be an intuitive language to learn and use. Since then, she's used it for work and personal tasks, and most recently started tinkering with various data science libraries.
